The race begins at 11:00am. The route is a flat course through Foxboro, which makes it perfect for all fitness levels.

This annual road race is held in loving memory of Linda Cavossa, Michael Baker, and Jackie Thomas. The funds raised from this event go to support the Hockomock YMCA’s Reach Out for Youth & Families Campaign and specifically to the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA Cancer survivorship program. The LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program is a 12-week strength and conditioning program designed for adult cancer survivors who are deconditioned and chronically fatigued from their cancer and/or treatment. This program is without cost to the survivor and their family. To register for the 5K and/or Kids Fun Run, and to learn more about the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program, visit hockymca.org.
